When I was a kid, I was very close with a Malay girl living right next door. Her parents told her, you see your Chinese neighbour learned to speak Malay, shouldn’t you also be learning to speak Chinese?
Much much later on, my parents told me that my childhood playmate’s parents were in fact shunned and harassed by the other Malay neighbours for being “too liberal” and “not religious enough”. (They moved after a few years.)
Some things never really changed.
